ResumoThis review examines Understanding Cormac McCarthy by Steven Frye and Reading the World: Cormac McCarthy’s Tennessee Period by Dianne C. Luce. Covering McCarthy’s entire career, Frye’s book deals generally with themes, aesthetics and historical context; Frye also argues that many of McCarthy’s works are best understood within the American romance tradition. Luce’s book discusses McCarthy’s first five published works, including his screenplay, The Gardener’s Son , investigating the role of local history and philosophy¾most significantly ancient Gnosticism¾in shaping the author’s unique vision.
